4. What are the risk factors for this condition?AAA occurs most frequently in males. Advanced age and smoking are the most common risk factors. Atherosclerotic lesions in the abdominal aorta are thought to increase the risk of AAA; Other risk factors for aneurysmal disease of the aorta include...

Morphology of coronary atherosclerotic lesions in patients with end‐stage renal failure Sir, The study by Schwarz et al. [1] provides valuable observations concerning the occurrence of calcification in the coronary arteries of patients with en......
Over time, the intima and media layers of the arteries exhibit extracellular matrix protein deposition and calcification. The hallmark of the atherosclerotic process is plaque formation, which has the potential to lead to lumen stenosis and thrombosis. The formation of the atheromatous plaque is a ...
Subsequently, this group also demonstrated that circulating calcium and phosphate are converted by the serum protein Fetuin A to colloidal calciprotein particles in order to prevent ectopic calcification. These undergo pinocytosis by monocytes, a function of increased circulating calcium-triggering monocyte ...

“The main contributors are usually black or green tea, blueberries, strawberries, oranges, red wine, apples, raisins/grapes and dark chocolate.” “Out of the women who don’t drink black tea, higher total non-tea flavonoid intake also appears to protect against extensive calcification of the...
Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at increased risk for arterial intimal (AIC) and medial calcification (AMC). In a cross-sectional study on 153 HD patients we evaluated the presence of AIC and AMC using plain radiography of the pelvis and the presence of atherosclerotic lesions using high-...
that IMA grafting of the LAD is also associated with less progression of native atherosclerotic disease within the proximal LAD as compared to when a vein graft is anastomosed to the LAD, as well as greater and rapid native disease progression from the development of fibrosis and calcification....
